I have mentioned on here before that i have been using a VW tuner to look after my MCS de to my days of VAG ownbership. Anyway Big Boys Toys have been saying they wanted into the Mini market, well looks like they may be in it now as they have bought out AMD. So good news for Kent /Essex owners as BBT will now be getting bigger in the mini market and AMD now trade out of Essex.

see here

It sounds silly though

Where did you get your remap and catback? Big Boys Toys!

Where did you get your remap and catback? AMD Technik

Ant FR · Feb 13th, 2007, 09:38 AM

yeah i know what you mean, i phoned BBT up once from work in the office.

Silly,

as when you phone em up, this woman on pre-recorded line says " Hi and Welcome to BIG-BOYS-TOYS". i had that on speaker phone and it sounded soooo Gay.

Also explain why your credit card statement says £480 paid to a company called Big Boys Toys. No its not some Gay sex toy site.......lol

lol hopefully they'll consider a name change as MINI's aren't exactly big..or did the big refer to the size of customers? Anyway Thurrock is just down the round from me so thats great news

Read the top,

BBT are "Big" in the VW market, in fact they have won the VW Racing series in both 2005 and 2006 campaigning an R32 Golf succesfuly.

Sorry to add a bit of doom and gloom but AMD went into receivership on last friday and BBT have only bought the name AMD and none of the staff / maps so they'll basically be starting from scratch

it's a shame really as i used to get on really well with the guys down at AMD

So it wont actually be offering the same pakages for the mini as amd did???
Would be a shame cause not too far from me! Infat BBt was suppose to be in contact with me 2weeks ago regarding my miltek obviously not desperate for cash!!!
